guide for mounting drives is in our discourse

Kyle Gospo•8/13/24, 11:37 PM

again, I must stress, NTFS is not supported

Kyle Gospo•8/13/24, 11:37 PM

we are not responsible for data loss and you can expect any steam games on there to absolutely fail to launch

WoodsBeatleOP•8/13/24, 11:37 PM

ok so i'll re-format to FAT32. will that allow games to launch?

WWoodsBeatle ok so i'll re-format to FAT32. will that allow games to launch?

Kyle Gospo•8/13/24, 11:38 PM

EXT4 and BTRFS are the only partitions supported

Kyle Gospo•8/13/24, 11:38 PM

with BTRFS preferred

Jorge•8/13/24, 11:38 PM

Ain’t it funny how there is more support for GPD handhelds on Linux than there is on windows

WoodsBeatleOP•8/13/24, 11:39 PM

BTFRS. got it. why is there a risk of data loss? Or in other words, what causes the data loss?

WWoodsBeatle BTFRS. got it. why is there a risk of data loss? Or in other words, what causes ...

Kyle Gospo•8/13/24, 11:39 PM

Risk of data loss is because the NTFS driver in Linux is not made by Microsoft

Kyle Gospo•8/13/24, 11:39 PM

and NTFS is not open source

Kyle Gospo•8/13/24, 11:39 PM

Game issue is because NTFS/Fat32/ExFat do not support features required by proton

WoodsBeatleOP•8/13/24, 11:40 PM

i see. so with BTFRS, there is less risk of data loss

WoodsBeatleOP•8/13/24, 11:40 PM

and proton works with BTFRS. got it

Aru•8/13/24, 11:41 PM

eh, but is there more support? i have a win 4, not sure how it has more support on Linux vs Windows

AAru eh, but is there more support? i have a win 4, not sure how it has more support ...

Jorge•8/13/24, 11:41 PM

GPD does the actual bare minimum it is crazy

Mervius•8/13/24, 11:41 PM

btrfs also supports deduplication

Jorge•8/13/24, 11:41 PM

Motion whatever it’s called sucks

Mervius•8/13/24, 11:42 PM

though, I think it's not automatic

Jorge•8/13/24, 11:42 PM

SimpledeckyTDP over that any day

JJorge Motion whatever it’s called sucks

Aru•8/13/24, 11:42 PM

ah, so you're talking about gyro and TDP controls?

Jorge•8/13/24, 11:42 PM

Yeah pretty much

Jorge•8/13/24, 11:42 PM

Besides handheld companion maybe

VValerie I did, didn't work. I've deleted it to restart now anyway.

dannymate•8/13/24, 11:42 PM

makes sense. I haven't experienced that particular problem and I tried searching but couldn't find anything so I'm going to chalk it up to computer spite. It got angry you let it run out of battery.

Aru•8/13/24, 11:42 PM

technically i think you should be able to do something similar by emulating a dualshock on windows

JJorge SimpledeckyTDP over that any day

Kyle Gospo•8/13/24, 11:42 PM

any reason you're using the decky plugin over HHD?

KKyle Gospo any reason you're using the decky plugin over HHD?

Jorge•8/13/24, 11:43 PM

HHD has working TDP controls for the win 4?

Ddannymate makes sense. I haven't experienced that particular problem and I tried searching...

Valerie•8/13/24, 11:43 PM

Worst part is my rpm-ostree layer didn't apply so I have to redo that too haha

JJorge HHD has working TDP controls for the win 4?

Kyle Gospo•8/13/24, 11:43 PM

believe so

Jorge•8/13/24, 11:43 PM

Do I just change the TDP via QAM?

Kyle Gospo•8/13/24, 11:43 PM

that or via HHD

Kyle Gospo•8/13/24, 11:43 PM

double tap QAM

KKyle Gospo any reason you're using the decky plugin over HHD?

Aru•8/13/24, 11:43 PM

on the win 4 specifically, hhd blocks TDP controls if you use PowerControl for fan controls

Jorge•8/13/24, 11:43 PM

Oh ok

Aru•8/13/24, 11:43 PM

and hhd doesn't have fan controls for the win 4

AAru and hhd doesn't have fan controls for the win 4

Kyle Gospo•8/13/24, 11:43 PM

that one of those handhelds with assss default fan curves?

Jorge•8/13/24, 11:44 PM

Yes

KKyle Gospo that one of those handhelds with assss default fan curves?

Aru•8/13/24, 11:44 PM

software-controlled fan curve

Jorge•8/13/24, 11:44 PM

It’s loud

Kyle Gospo•8/13/24, 11:44 PM

sad

Kyle Gospo•8/13/24, 11:44 PM

makes sense then, carry on lol

Aru•8/13/24, 11:44 PM

eh, PowerControl works great for fan control. I'm not particularly upset

WoodsBeatleOP•8/13/24, 11:45 PM

Kyle, would the safest way to dual-boot be to get another SSD, install bazzite on it first and then clone my other drive? Not the C drive with Windows, just the D drive?
